Fujitsu launches ‘super-fast, all-flash’ storage systems

In the hope of changing the dynamics of primary storage in enterprise computing environments, Fujitsu has announced the introduc40108_eternus_storage_cluster_lprtion of super-fast, all-flash storage systems.

New ETERNUS AF all-flash models are Fujitsu’s fastest-ever storage systems, bringing all-flash technology within reach of everyday applications to underpin business transformation.

ETERNUS AF hopes to combine system reliability with the ultra-low response times that today’s enterprise applications demand – with SSDs operating up to 500 times faster than traditional disks – to deliver maximum performance for mixed workloads including databases, VDI, analytics, and big data.

The new ETERNUS AF family makes flash storage more attractive than ever, thanks to competitive pricing and lower total cost of ownership for all-flash systems, which need less maintenance and are more reliable than HDD-based storage systems.

Michael Keegan, Head of Business Line Products at Fujitsu EMEIA, said, “We’re bringing ultra-fast, all-flash storage to the mass market, at new price points for both purchase and operation that make the ETERNUS AF all-flash system an affordable, viable mainstream business solution. As the economics of all-flash storage become ever more attractive, we’re enabling customers to create faster, more responsive IT environments that are easily able to maximise the benefits of digital services and next generation data and applications accessed from anywhere.”

These systems also aim to enable customers to transform their data centers with super-fast, easily expandable storage solutions that potentially deliver huge reductions in overheads. IT teams also benefit from significantly simplified operations: Automated Quality of Service features dramatically reduce administration and maintenance requirements, freeing up system engineers from repetitive, mundane tasks.

FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS AF systems are available to order with immediate effect and Fujitsu expects the first shipments in late October. Pricing varies according to country and configuration.
